Second Grade uses the Houghton-Mifflin Reading and Math series. During our Reading and Language Arts block the children participate in Response to Intervention (RtI) that incorporates small group instruction. Teachers are also trained in the LETRS program to maximize student achievement.
In Science, we use the Pennsylvania Harcourt Series which is a 2009 edition.
These series, as well as all other solid subject areas have been aligned to the Pennsylvania state standards and eligible content.

Each Second Grade classroom is equipped with a Promethean Board and Activotes in which the teachers incorporate into their daily lessons.

All classrooms from Kindergarten through Sixth Grade contain Promethean white boards, access to wireless laptops, and access to the Compass Odyssey Computer Lab.

Second Grade enjoys two yearly field trips. Normally these trips include a visit to the historic Mishler Theatre and the beautiful Raystown Lake in Huntington County.
